Pony down under..........

Hi everyone, my 1966 factory GT Coupe just spent the last 36 years with it's previous owner in Greensboro, North Carolina. Frank (now 82 years old) was the second owner as he'd bought it from the original owner who ordered it as a customer order back in late November 1965. It was optioned out nicely with an A code engine, power steering, a banded windscreen, green glass, pony interior, rally pac, long console, rear speaker and AM radio to complement all the GT extras. It arrived in Australia in January of this year with 68,336 original miles. It still has many original features including the trunk liner, spare white wall tire, jack and ratchet, all panels and interior are also original (except for the carpet and mats), All bolt on parts such as power steering pump, 4bbl carburettor, intake manifold and so on are original numbers matching as well. This beautiful example of American automotive design still has the buck tag attached and is accompanied by the original factory build sheet of which I found the last piece (Bottom left hand corner) stuck under the passengers seat just a few weeks ago. Just love her!

Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

Magnificient car. On the outside it looks identical to my 65 GT I got last month. I have posted a lot of pictures the last few days. Yours has a few more options like the rally pack and the pony interior. Mine also has the A-code engine, the long console, banded windscreen with green glass and also is a matching number car. It was imported to Holland in march and fully restaured since then. Please post some more pics of your car, it looks great.

I've posted a few of my pics in case you didn't see them yet.

Have fun with your GT, I am surely enjoying mine.

Peter
